Aspirin is a weak acid with a Ka of 3.0x10^-5. Find the pH of a solution by dissolving .65g of aspirin in water and diluting it to 50mL. You can use RCOOH to represent aspirin. Molecular weight of aspirin is 180g/mol

2.83 is right (and I obtained 3.46 using 0.004, also). Apparently you took my "apparoximately 0.004) and assumed that was gospel. I had to stick something there and didn't want to calculate it so I guessed at it and wrote approximately. I assumed you would substitute the correct value although I didn't say you should confirm my approximate number (but you should have). The molarity of the aspirin is 0.0722. (NOTE: 0.65g x (1 mol/180g) x (1000 mL/50 mL)

For the ICE box, you are supposed to use the molarity of the aspirin. I did not realize that. Thank you so much for your help!
